Most US corporations today are over-managed and under-led. They need to develop their capacity to exercise leadership.

Never underestimate the power of the mind to disempower.

Leadership produces change. That is its primary function

One of the most powerful forms of information is feedback on our own actions.

Great leaders motivate large groups of individuals to improve the human condition.

Great leadership does not mean running away from reality. Sometimes the hard truths might just demoralize the company, but at other times sharing difficulties can inspire people to take action that will make the situation better.

Motivation and inspiration energize people, not by pushing them in the right direction as control mechanisms do but by satisfying basic human needs for achievement, a sense of belonging, recognition, self-esteem, a feeling of control over one's life, and the ability to live up to one's ideals. Such feelings touch us deeply and elicit a powerful response.
